Trick or Treat?

No tricks here – just sweet, sweet treats!

Relaxed Boo at the Zoo

When: Friday, 31 October 2025 | 3pm–4pm

This special early session is perfect for little ghosts and goblins who prefer things a bit quieter.

The Relaxed Boo at the Zoo experience is designed for children and families who benefit from a low-sensory environment.

What to expect:

  • An earlier entry time

  • Smaller crowds

  • Softer sounds and fewer surprises

  • All the same tasty treats and spooky fun!

 

Families are welcome to stay on after 4pm when the zoo opens to the full crowd – just be aware it might get a bit louder and busier.
